Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer, and you tick YES to the Gift Aid declaration, then Sea of Faith can reclaim from HM Revenue & Customs 28p for each pound of your payment, but excluding the cost of the magazine, ie, for each individual member, paying a subscription of £30, £15 can be treated as Gift Aided.
Any additional donation can also be Gift Aided and if the total payment, subscription plus donation, is £60 or more, then the whole amount, including the cost of the magazine, can be treated as Gift Aided and the member becomes a Sponsor. But please note:
- You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the Trust reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give).
- You can cancel this declaration at any time; notifying the Trust by writing to the Network Secretary.
- If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax the Trust reclaims, you should cancel your declaration.
- If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return.
